DEATH OF MRS b. I PowEII..-Our
community was greatly panied Sunday
morning to learn of the death of Mrs. Ella
b. /. Powell, proprietor of the Central
Hotel. No death in our town has caused
keener sorrow TO the hearts of those who
knew her, and many heart-throb of deep
est affection has welled up and spent itself
in tears of grief as the unwelcome truth
forced itself upon friends and loved ones
that this good woman had passed from
earth. Mrs. Powell had many sincere
friends and admirers who esteemed her for
her many amiable qualities and rare vir-
tues She was indeed a good woman i'm
every relation of life, and as wife, mother,
friend, her example was model one A
high type of pure and christian woman
hood, her manner was kind and gentle,
her friendship cordial and sincere, and her
influence sweet and refreshing. OF her it
might we'll be said ''nOne knew her but to
love her, none named her but to praise.
Deceased had been member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church for number of
years.
Peacefully and quietly death came, and
like the end of perfect day" she
passed away, the sun of her life going down
behind the hills of earthly existence to rise
again and shine with greater splendor in
the world beyond, i'll the presence of the
blessed Saviour she loved so we'll and
Whose whole counsel" she had tried to
keep. The remains were buried III the
cemetery at Warrenton Monday. To the
grief husband and five motherless
little children our heart goes out in the

Closing Exercises of Mr.. E. G. Butler
School.

The closing exercises of Mr.. E. G. But
iers school at Dabney, were held Friday
evening" June 10th, in the Methodist church
at that place. About $50 people were pres
ent, and if we are to judge by the many
complimentary expressions at The admra-
BILE manner in which the young ladies and
gentlemen distinguished themselves, no one
regretted being there even though they had
travelled long distances through the rain to
do so. The programme which was very
attractive one, embracing more than two
ner to reflect credit upon both scholars and
teachers. The careful and thorough train
ing received at the hands of so competent
and painstaking an instructor as Mr.. Butler
was plainly visible IN each feature of the
evenings exercises.
The address was delivered by Hon. w.
II. P. Jenkins, of Granville. He rode 90
miles through pouring rain for most part
to meet an obligation, but not an audience,
as he thought. But in this he was mistaken.
The church was packed with an intelligent
and appreciative audience, and for the space
of 40 minutes the speaker held his hearers
enraptured by characteristic address,
euphonious and logical. Those who have
heard Mr.. jenkins on an occasion of this
kind, know his rare powers, and when We
say he never appeared so happy and felici-
tous as before his audience at Dabney, it
will require broad stretch of the magma
ton to take in the scope of his beautiful
word paintings, apt illustrations, and logical
argument.
Mr.. Butler is a most capable man
for the duties of the school room. He is
alike competent and experienced, polished
and erudite, and has built up very sue
cessful school. He had 80 scholars the past
session, 26 boys and Is girls. 1t is an
institution of which the people of that Sec
ton may well feel proud, and one which
they should literally encourage and sus-
tain. The next session will begin the first
Monday in August.

cred an address on the occasion of the
closing exercises of the school at Palmer's

Gently. The GAINESVILLE Banner Of Truth
publishes the ADDRESS III full in its last
issue and says of it:
We take special pleasure in calling the
attention of our readers to the speech by
Rev. j. ID. Arnold, of the North Carolina
Conference, to be found in this issue of our
paper. If this is a fair specimen of what
he can do, we think we may safely dub
him the Talmage of the South. We have
never seen anything from DR.. Talmage
superior to this, and we do not mean to de-
preciate him, either. Had this speech been
delivered on some important occasion in
New DIRK city, it would have been repro
duced in half the papers in the North.

neck and shoulders to make trains of. :
We echo the sentiment. If there is any

an extremely long train, it's q dress that is
ultra short at the top. We heartily COM
mend the deco1im and modest taste of the
dresses worn on this occasion, especially
because what was fashionable there, will,
We take it, pass muster elsewhere, and no

may be imagined, strong man as he was,
John was by this time quite exhausted.
For nearly a week he had been travelling
necessarily, and for the last two nights he
had not only not slept, but had endured a
great deal of peril and mental excitement.
Had 1t not been for the brandy Tanta
Coetzee had given him he could not have
got over the fifteen miles or so Of ground
he had covered, and now he was quite
broken down, and felt that the only thing
that he couid do, wet through rs he was,
would he to lie down somewhere and
sleep or die rs the case might be. Then it
was that the little ave near the top Of the
kloof, the same from which jess had
watched the thunderstorm, came into his
recollection. chad been there once with
Bessie after their engagement, and she
had told him that i. was one of Jess
t~ayOrite spots.
Ii he could nee reach the cave he would
at any rate get shelter and a dry place to
lie on. 1t could not be more than 800
yards away. So he struggled on bravely
through the wet grass and over the scat
tered powders, until at last he came to the
base OF the huge column that had been
shattered by the lightning before Jess eyes.
Thirty PAGES more and he was in the
cave.
With a sigh of utter exhaustion he flung
himself down upon ihe rocky floor and was
almost instantly buried in a profound
sleep.

THE END.
Etiquette Of the Cigar.

Afg
A late authority on etiquette promul.
gates the dictum: "You should never
smoke in the presence of ladies any where. ="
IL is 4 safe cigar code. II should lie fol-
lowed undeviatingly, says the Chicago
journal, by every "a who is not perfectly
certain that he is well bred, and that he
has the innate tact to know when 10 make
exceptions To establish forms and ceremou-
les. All etiquette il based on reason. The
reasons why mel should not smoke in the
presence of ONE are two-iirst. the
smell of tobacco may he distasteful To
them. lie il to take that for granted
ia all eases till he has certain proof
to the contrary. 1t is not sufficient 10 ask
any individual lady if she objects 10 his
INDUCING in the weed. Ladies have their
unwritten code Of minor matters, and Onc
OF the rules is tO smile swretly when asked
III tobacco smoke is offensive" aud say
mot 1T all, " even when they know with
dire,ul certainty that five minutes after
fumigatiou commences they must retreat
or choke with coughing Therefore never
smoke in the presence of any lady until
you have seen yourself preceded in that act
by some gentleman whose knowledge of
her true attitude toward the weed is I'M
questionable.
Second, the act Of smoking in another's
society Indicates a temporary release from
forms and ceremonies. IL is an indication
OF intimacy. Among men that intimacy
is rs e%phemeral ~ you ~please-it may only
last the closing hour Of a banquet-but any
observer seeing a gentleman smoking in a
lady's presence would draw one OF two
conclusions either that the lady, from
ignorance or from loss Of self respect, held
lax ideas of her own dignity, aud was toll
Grant Of short intimacics, or that the gen.
tleman's position toward her was one Of
well established social intimacy. Now, il
is in the latter case that he may, under
certain restrictions, indulge in his cigar.
When walking with any lady on the pub
lie street he may not smoke. Why IL
she is not related TO him he should not
tacitly imply their intimacy. Ii she is his
wife or sister or mother observers may not
know that fact, and whether they do or
not he should not treat his relatives with
less respect than he wOuld accord other
lady companions.
He may not ride in public in q lady's
company with a cigar in his mouth. Why?
Riding p%resupposes greater intimacy than
walking. In the latter the couple may be
the subjects OF a chance encounter, but n
vehicle indicates a pre-arranged associa-
ton. II is not inst to your lady compau.
ions to indulge in an act when in her
society, which shall cause In instantaneous
query as to the basis OF your intimacy in
the mind of eyay spectator.
